What would you do
Advisor told me to drill through the plug patch and try to patch it again. I said it likely won’t hold and to recommend new tires.

Rolling into a shop
Misfires every cylinder but 4. Thinking compression is bad.

Completed a entire pannel
For auto tech I decided to join a more advanced side, EV. Turns out I'm quite good at it, currently right now I'm trying to mount it into the vehicle, waiting for slightly bigger screw's.

Backup camera boroscope..
The shop i work at do not have a boroscope, so i found a cheap backup camera on the shelf, mounted it on a folding measuring stick to get a look and fix this rusted stuck turbo actuator.. it got it done! 😄

Didn't have enough wood
One of my 4x4 projects from about 10yrs ago.
Would've been simpler with two people - could've just picked the motor up and lifted it off the chassis. Unfortunately, I didn't think of that till after I'd spent an hour stacking wheels at head height.

Not blocks, but pallets
Needed rims and tires off this truck since it was going to scrap, boss wanted them to be put on another truck. But we only had 1 set of jack stands. So......pallets

what do you daily?
98 corolla. Picked it up from the son of an old lady for $400 with about 100k on it. Just needed a starter and tires. What are you driving?

Could you believe this guy using wood as jack stands!?
I can’t believe it. That’s what they make toothpicks out of!

Tell me how you aren’t a mechanic by telling us you are…
I’ve been wanting to do this for awhile and I found some good quality pricing that’s definitely gonna put all the backyarders out of business, so it’s story time. 20 years in the field and some of the things I’ve seen some of us do really make me question , well, a lot.
My post… how in the fuck do you charge $25 to charge an empty system of say, anything that takes refrigerant. Somebody give this guy a 3v or maybe just a serp belt on a mini 🤷🏻♂️🤪. I’m not done, I just realized I can get my transmission fluid changed for 25 bucks. I’m subletting all my customers and my own cars to this dude lol.

That’s one way to fix it

Did y'all say you wanted to see wooden jack stands ?
02:02 UTC
Figured I would chime in on the wooden block jack stand theme today
01:34 UTC
We doing block stands. I've got 6x6 beams.
My 20t stand are being used for my trailer. So blocks it is. Yes. That's a '09 body with a '16 box. No it doesn't match. No I don't care. It's a work truck. It hulls shit and fat chicks.

What the dog doin??
Came in on the hook. This is wild.

Rate my jack stands.
Only problem is, they are not exactly the same height, so one has a 1cm gap, nothing that really bothers me.
